POLICE ACTIVITY IN NEW HAVEN The suthorities of New Haven are to be commended in making it their policy to break up Sunday selling in the sa- loons of that city, and the results rtainly show that the movement is ‘ully justified. The Journal-Courler of that place, commenting upon the raiding of four saloons which were doing a secret Sunday business, said: “It is now made perfectly clear that the police are equal to the arrest of oftending saloon keepers if they are et to work in the right apirit. There nesd no longer be talk of the aicul- ties of detecting these offenders. What- ever talk is required should center about the possible failure of the police to continue their excellent work until the law is enforced without discrimi- nation. The mere fact that saloon keepers continue to defy the law and 0 @ it In the reckless way they have been doing it shows decisively that they have concluded that it was safe o @0 ‘These things together Justi- fy the belief that if the police com- missioners will issue orders to Chief Cowles to enforce the law without re- sand to politics, or any other consider- ation but his own official head, he will do so. Not until this is done can the question be debated of the neighbor- hood saloon being the poor man’s club and therefore entitled to considera- tion” There is no defense for Sunday sell- ing anywhere, and not only the general public but the saloon keepers who Tespect the provisions of their license should encourage and applaud work ©f this kind.

Dr. Doremus Scudder, through the columns of the Nfir York Independent, complains of the poor facllities af- Toraed for ‘reaching the Pacific coast from Honolulu, He is now the pastor of the Central church at Honolulu and alleges that he was obliged to engage a passage in June, 1909, in order to sail with good accommodations the American flag in May, 191C. - menting upon Dr. Seudder's complaint, the Boston Transcript says. “The islands can grow only by bulld- ing up their export Here again they. are held up by the coastwise shipping laws, and the monopoly Which these create. Freedom to trans- port products in anything that comes along, giving the archipelago the ad- vantage of the science and progred¥ of the age, is the least that should be accorded. The ‘accruing to the United States from the limitation_of this trade to the American flag, Dr. Scudder properly says, is infinitesimal. It is no wonder that with such an un- intelligent handling of the situation the American stock and the American in- terest in the archipelago are steadily declining, although Dr. Scudder is too loyal an American to mention this in his argument. He does relate, how- ever, that after the long years of Am- erican influence and the planting of the American flag there nearly two decades ago, seventy-five per cent, of its people are Asfatic and Polynesian; twenty per cent. more are European, largaly Portuguese, while only one per- on In twenty represents the so-called American stock. This ratio is not like- v to be changed in our favor so long as our colonial policies are conducted | upon extreme protection principles. It is In fact an open guestion whether a highly protective nation can ever be a good colonizing power. THE ALARMIST. The alarmist figures in every pub- lic movement, 50 it is not surprising | to find him sending out warnings to | the boycotters of meat and detists generally that they are in mortal dan- ger if they depart from .the regular and customary food. The best judges of the effects of such departures from regular custom, it must be admitted, are those who have made the change and realized all the alleged perils and unalloyed benefits. A voice from Chicago says: “For over fifty years I clung to a meat dist as my only hope of salva- tlon, and thought a meal or lunch without it a poor affair. At last, so broken in health that I was obliged to stop work, the doctors gave up my case and ordered me south. There it so happened that I could not find palatable meats and I discovered that I could live without them. Now, after ten years and more of vegetarian liv- ing, ‘at the age of 72, I have much Dbetter health and never before in my life have foods tasted so good. “It is my firm belief that all thes ‘Doycotters if they keep it up will fin themselves so much benefited by their fasting that they will never want to return to their habit of meat eating 2gain, It is a habit, and not a matter ~* necessity, just as much as taking stimulants is a habit.

The Nicaraguan war appears to be as about as uncertain as some of Chief Moore's weather predictions. It has been officially determined that a man may behave like an officer with- out acting like a gentleman. A New York woman failed for half a million and had no assets. That is running as dry as the law will per- mit. The beef barons would have us know that beef is a high-fiyer, and they will keep us all in the air, if they can, The family limed egg is now as wel- come as a benevolent visitor. It is only dear to the heart of the econo- mist. The ice barons see that Nature Is against them this vear; but they are not disturbed by a little matter of that xind. There are so few families that wear out a Bible that the announcement of a rise in the price does not disturb many. Fairbanks might have made Rome howl; but he didm’t. All he wanted was to make it pleasant for all con- cerned. We are still . shipping to foreign ports two and a half thousand barrels of apples weekly. The New England apple is all right. It is not strange that President Taft feels lonesome in the White house. He doesn’t hear “Hello, BUl” often enough around there. / You have noticed, perhaps, that the mornings are as foggy here in Con- necticut as public issues are at Wash- ington under the dome. The proposition that all hands con- tribute one Lincoln penny on the 12th inst. toward the Lincoln university en- dowment fund is a good one. It is now stated that Uncle Sam has forty million acres of timber in the Philippines. That will come rather high for home consumption. The senate would not make an in- teresting film for the moving picture houses, for there isn't activity enough there to keep up an interest.

A well known mathematical writer makes the following statement, name- ly: “The nine significant digits revers- ed and multiplied by 9, or any multiple of 9, the product will give figures alike, except the extreme end ones, which will be like the multiplier.” He glves this for an exxample: 987654321 54 3950617284 4938271605 53333333334 It will be seen that the end figures make 54, the multiplier, a multiple of 9(6 times 9), while all' the other fig- ures are 3's répeated. Now, it may be well to say I have discovered that the mathematician's rule does not hold true in all cases, I find the first exception is when 19 times 9. or 171, is used as dtiplier. The next exception is when 28 times 9, or 252, 4s used as a muitiplier; that is, 9 mote times 9 than in the first excep- on. The other exceptions occur at frreg- ular intervals, but are all attributabie to the same cause, until the multiplier Dbecomes more than 100 times 9, or 900. The curlous results mentioned are aft- erwards less frequent than before. C. H. TALCOTT. Norwich, Feb. 8, 1910. An Added Word. Mr. Editor: Will you grant me the privilege of adding a word to what the press has said of the pleasant en- tertainment recently given in the thea- ter by the young people of our city? Through the solicitation of some neigh- bors' children I was induced to buy ticKets therefor; and I am sure that many. especially many parents, must have been surprised to note the talent. refinement, grace, and, in some cases, real genius displayed by these young men and women. From notes appended to the pro- gramme I learned that the cast of the lively drama was made up of youths and ‘maidens whose days are spent in work in_various lines. Looking over the list, I noticed that some of my own neighbors’ children were there, who, as 1 know, are kept busy day after day in Stores, ' shops, factories, mills, offices and the like, Reading further, I dis- covered that for the pleasure profit, innocent amusement and mental gain for such, the two clubs participating in the theater entertainment had been formed. That for such are provided cheerful, 1light, well-heated rooms, harmless social intercourse, the safe- guard of proper guardianship against the evils of idleness, aimless walking the streets. unoccupied fingers and minds. It was a real revelation to me to learn that for the young women are Open classes in useful arts; dressmak- ing. cooking, millinery, embroidery, shirtwaist making. and the like. That they can go from the grind and mo- notony of the mill or counter to bright, cheerful rooms, that they can purchase at nominal cost wholesome. substantial lunches or dinners as their means af- ford.
